It must be good to be israel, you get free shit from the US and then later on sell it to european(or china)countries for profit. I'm going to go ask my neighbor to give me his car so I can use it for a few weeks, then sell it and I keep the profit.

This is the argument you present me with and I'm the stupid one? Funny shit.

Well here's what your country could do. Send it back to the US so we can sell it and actually make some money. Considering we paid for the fucking things.
Or, you sell it and give the US the money back.
